The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 883: The King of Pieces is online again

"I understand! Then you should first train a group of reserve dragon knights according to the standards of dragon knights! At present, the kingdom's knights do not need to be expanded! You can assign those trainee knights to your command and teach them first!" Roland nodded and said to Nogai.

Although the more knight orders the better for the kingdom, the cost of a formal member of a knight order is very high. Under Roland's current strategy of keeping a low profile, there is no need to expand ordinary knight orders. Two knight orders are enough to suppress all ambitions. Given the current situation of the kingdom, it is better to go for quality rather than quantity! Roland hopes to pull out a real air cavalry regiment before the War of the Rings instead of an extra knight order for battlefield breakthroughs. After all, a knight charge cannot break through the Black Gate!
Although Roland's command is not artistic, his 5000-year historical experience as a "shy farmer" tells him that three-dimensional warfare is much more threatening than two-dimensional warfare! Roland happens to have the advantage of air knights. In this Middle-earth world where only Sauron has a certain air base, no one can play the air advantage better than Roland! Moreover, Roland's dragon knight is not used as a "line filler baby". As the most mobile single combat power pyramid soldier, the dragon knight has always played the role of fire captain and top sharp knife. Low-end scenes need air knights to make up for it!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nogai nodded.

"Let's raise these griffins first! Feed them slowly and then tame them!" Roland glanced at the vigilant griffins and chuckled.

Don't think that Warcraft are just brainless animals or bloodthirsty beasts! As mentioned before, their IQ is not low, especially the IQ of high-level Warcraft is comparable to that of humans. These Warcraft also know how to be a hero! Except for those super Warcraft that are difficult to subdue by force, these Warcraft can be tamed by using both kindness and force!

"Well, it will probably take a year or so to train them well!" Joltea estimated the time. After all, it takes time for these monsters to get familiar with humans. What's the saying? Orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and accommodation! Roland not only provides food and accommodation here, but most importantly, he is kind! (Referring to the 8 dragons!)

Roland, who was full of martial virtue, didn't mind at all whether these griffins would surrender or not. After all, griffins knew how to make choices. They could still tell the difference between cooperating with the kingdom and eating and drinking well or fighting with the dragons in close combat! It's true that humans don't know animal language, but mental power and dragon language are good things!

"Just stay here quietly, and nothing will happen to you and your people!" Roland's spiritual power blossomed in the mind of the griffin leader. The griffin leader narrowed his eyes and looked at Roland with fear and anger.

The reason why he was afraid was because Roland had a strong aura of a golden dragon, and the reason why he was angry was because he witnessed Roland capturing all his people!

"Interesting!" Roland found it interesting to see the Griffin King with an unyielding look in his eyes, but he thought they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble with the dragon suppressing them!

"The task of taming those griffins is now up to you! Do a good job! The kingdom needs your strength!" Roland patted Nogai's shoulder to encourage him, and at the same time painted a rosy picture for him. As a qualified cow and horse who was PUA-ed up on Earth, Roland is really good at this trick. Compared with domestic capitalists, the nobles of Middle-earth can be said to be the representatives of truth, goodness and beauty! So a mere rosy picture is not a respect!
"As you command, Your Majesty! You will see a group of healthy griffins and a team of qualified reserve air knights!" Nogai puffed out his chest and raised his head, looking like a soldier who would die for his friend. Little did he know that Kaslo, who was daydreaming beside him, almost laughed out loud. He and Roland were too familiar with each other. He also came here by eating King Roland's cakes. Even most people came here by eating King Roland's cakes...

"What are you laughing at?" Roland looked at Kaslo, who was laughing so hard, in confusion. From his perspective, Kaslo's sudden laughter seemed a bit crazy!
"Nothing, I just thought of something funny!" Caslo looked at Roland with a forced smile. He really wanted to tell Roland that although you looked a little embarrassed when you failed to pretend to be cool, you looked really beautiful when you made promises.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and spend more time with Ajax! You won't be able to see her for a long time after we leave!" Roland waved to Caslo, and sighed as if he remembered something.

"Okay, let's adjourn if there's nothing else! Knight Nogai, I hope you can abide by the virtues of chivalry! I'm waiting for your good news in Lagrande City!" Roland added another bowl of chicken soup, said hello to the others, and left.

……

"Are you done?" Nix wiped the water from her hands. It was obvious that she had just finished cooking. "You cooked? Don't we have chefs? Just let the chefs cook!" Roland looked at Nix's red hands with distress.

"It's warm! I'm a water mage and I won't be frozen!" Nix followed Roland's gaze, then lightly hit Roland with a helpless look.

"That's not necessary. My queen, the queen of the Kingdom of Lagrande, doesn't need to cook for you herself." Roland patted her hands gently.

"Don't you always complain that the chefs' food is not to your liking? And you always ask the royal chef to feed you pig food?" Nyx chuckled. Indeed, for people coming from the Great Foodie Empire, the catering standards here are torture. Perhaps the only food that Roland considers normal is the food of the Halflings (Hobbits) who are good at cooking.

"Ah..." Roland sighed, unable to put it into words. The scene in which the dark cuisine tried to poison him was still vivid in his mind. Roland still had a psychological trauma from this. If those royal chefs really let go, their results would be comparable to the culinary power of his third brother!

Roland looked at the fried tofu and other foods made by Nyx on the plate. Although they were not exquisite, they were still delicious. He couldn't help but sigh why the nobles in Middle-earth liked to hire halflings as chefs. It was really that the food of other races was too poor. After Roland brought the method of making tofu, the entire Lagran people regarded tofu, tofu brain and the derived tofu skin as delicacies!
"Soy products? So many?" Roland raised his eyelids and casually stuffed a piece of fried tofu into his mouth.

"Of course! The soy products you invented are now a rare delicacy in the North! Merchants from other kingdoms come to purchase them and the demand is constantly exceeding supply! I love them the most!" Nyx happily shared the food with a fork and knife.

Roland didn't quite believe the news that soy products were exported to other kingdoms before, but he was completely convinced after seeing Nyx serve him plates of soy products. He had known that the people of Middle-earth had suffered, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable... He must be very tenacious and have an iron stomach to be able to live and become the master of the world while eating dark food all day long!
"Are you... leaving tomorrow?" Seeing that Roland had almost finished eating, Nyx weakly pulled Roland's sleeve.

"..." Roland was silent for a moment.

"Come with me this time! Leave the Rapids to Duke Joltea and his men!" Roland whispered as he held Nyx in his arms.

"I'm worried! When the Rapid Avenue is completed next year, I will lead the people to migrate and find you!" Nyx's eyes were sparkling, and she looked into Roland's eyes very seriously.

"Ouch!" With a muffled groan, Nyx was gagged and Roland laid her down on the bed...
